The Embassy of the Syrian Arab Republic in Bonn is the former embassy of the country to West Germany. Its current chancery was built in 1989/90, and was the penultimate purpose built construction of an embassy in Bonn before the transfer of the German government to Berlin in 1999.
Syria had a diplomatic presence in Bonn at least till, 1986, when the ambassador was recalled as part of a tit-for-tat move in response to a series of diplomatic withdrawals due to the 1986 bombing of the German-Arab Friendship Society.[1] The embassy cost to build, and was completed shortly before the vote to move the capital to Berlin in 1991, causing disappointment.[2] In 2017, it was announced that the premises would be sold have after spending a decade vacant, with the Syrian embassy in Berlin having finally given permission.[3]
